By Tom Perkin, Director Strategy and Growth – Power and Renewables
DT Infrastructure and Gamuda Australia as part of the Gamuda Group of Companies, are proud to be once again a Silver Partner and Exhibitor at AusRAIL PLUS 2025, the largest rail event in the Asia–Pacific.
Hosted by the Australasian Railway Association (ARA), AusRAIL PLUS 2025 will take place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 26–28 November.
Our DT Infrastructure stand
You’ll find us at Stand #432, where you can meet and chat to our rail team, learn about our comprehensive rail service offering and experience some interactive demonstrations.
This year we have gone bigger and better with our largest exhibition and representation to date. Notably this year our stand includes a theatre-style set-up where an impressive line-up of DTI rail experts will present mini technical talks on a range of topics from greenfield construction to long-term maintenance contracts to effective community engagement.
From design, construction, testing and commissioning, operations and maintenance, we are showcasing our ability to provide integrated solutions that deliver long-term value for clients, communities, and the national transport network. Our comprehensive program of presentations means attendees can drop by at the scheduled time to learn more about a particular topic that’s relevant to them.
So be sure to come along and join the team as we celebrate our achievements in the rail sector.
This year, as part of your presence at our stand, you will be supporting our key partnerships with not-for-profit charity Wellness in Infrastructure and social enterprise Fruit2Work.
Meet our AusRAIL PLUS 2025 Speaker
Program Manager for Asset Management, David Khoo, will be presenting “From data to action: Transforming existing rail systems into predictive maintenance powerhouses.” David will share key insights from implementing digital condition monitoring for railway infrastructure in South-West Victoria.
